Bonsai Garden at Lake Merritt

From late December to Spring there will be a great deal of action in the workshop. Many of our trees need to be re-potted and moved to display. Many of the blooming trees have already been completed and moved to the display area. Many other trees are undergoing their maintenance and will be out for the public to see soon. Thanks to our curator, Kathy Shaner, and her army of local club member volunteers this work gets done every year. Stop in and see the work done and get a view of those ume and quince which are the earliest bloomers in the Garden.

A new Elm was recently gifted to the collection and re-potted for display. This tree has a great trunk and fine branches. We are eager to see it develop.
